A hazy orange beer with a small orange head. The aroma is sweet with strong notes of alcohol, which also gives it hints of metal, and for me it also contains an off-note of carpet. The flavor is very sweet and very alcoholic, the alcohol dries out the mouth, but the flavor also contains notes of peach and caramel. Not as good as expected.

(Bottle 18 cl) Clear, pale amber with a very small head. Sweetish with an incredibly full body. Lots of sweet malt, but the sweetness never gets cloying. Incredibly complex, the kind of beer that slowly grows in you mouth in a fantastic palette of flavour impressions. Big positive surprise. 220505

Bronze colour; whiskeyish nose; some light lowland malt flavour; touch of acidity as well; light chewiness of malt and a hard body. Seems a little confused.

18 cL bottle, thanks to BelJohansen. Pours slight hazy orange with a lacing white head. Dark malt, dried fruit and a light oldish/aged note. Flavour is sweet and fruity. Lingering caramel flavoured into the finish with a lingering fruity finish.

Bottled at DBF 2005. Orange coloured with a white head. Sweet fruity aroma with notes of alcohol and honey. Sweet flavour with lots of fruits and spices.
